    Arguello must be up there too; he and Hearns have equal P4P power in the right hand IMO

    In a P4P sense I don't see how LHW's and up can be mentioned in a P4P sense, when lower weight fighters like Olivares were just as devestating in their chosen weight classes.

    Olivares ****in' knocked out Jose Luis Ramirez with a single bodyshot.

    I'm going with Tyson. Yes he's a HW but the elements of power, full body torque, explosivity, technique, placement, . You can't have a true powerpuncher that isn't explosive and a very fast puncher, they can still score brutal KO's ofcourse but the punch isn't as powerful

    Tyson power is proven at the highest level, proven against opponents weighing 30lbs more, proven in the first round, proven he only needs 1 shot.

    I think Jackson is more of a 'P4P' puncher my friend....also had to rely on that power, Tyson could've won fights based on his speed alone to be honest, jackson HAD to knock out much more skilled opponents than he.

    I agree Jacksons defo up there but his power and it certainly ticks the boxes but wasn't quite as impressive when he went up in weight to 160 or when he faced the elite. I also think Jackson has some underrated skills too actually, a real pity he didnt get more big fights
